Has the power to do what you need where you need it!

I bought this inverter to power my camp trailer and charge batteries. This has enough power to run my AC unit on my trailer. Quiet running (actually I thought it would be quieter) but when you walk 10 feet away you kinda forget its running. Easy to start and operate. Very fuel efficient, I ran on encono mode most of the summer.

Awesome!!!

I was quite sad when my Onan in the motorhome died. I shopped around extensively and, after comparing prices and reviews, I decided on the iGen2500. This is an awesome generator. It fires up my motorhome's AC with ease. It also works great with my house LG refrigerator. I trust the Westinghouse name as much as Honda (and definitely more than all of the off brands out there). Looking forward to many years of use, and even the next power outage.

Powers everything in my camper!

Just tested the igen2500 on my 23 ft camper, runs the 13,500 a/c unit on low at 50% power and on high at 75% power. Will run the refrigerator and a/c at the same time with the tv and some lights on. I did try to run a 1hp air compressor with it just to see if it would... ran for a fews seconds then went into overload. Very silent when idling with 0-25% load, gets a bit louder as load increases more than 50%. Very portable and easy to carry around, 3 year warranty cant go wrong with this gen. I would buy again.

So far great generator

As other reviewer have mentioned, buying a spare spark plug was a good idea. Just like other units, my plug was delivered cracked. Popped in my new plug, and it started right up. I haven't used it yet beyond my break-in run, but have no other concerns. Seems like a well built solid generator.

I'm Storm Ready

Just un-boxed filled the oil reservoir and filled the tank with stabilized gas today. The oil fill was easy and the instructions were very clear. I decided to test out the generator before our storms hit later this summer. The instructions for running the generator were crystal clear. I pulled the cord with some apprehension. I was very happy to see that it started on the first pull. I plugged in the freezer that I keep in the garage to add a load the the iGen2500 barely broke a sweat. I'll have no problem running my refrigerator/freezer and some lights if and when we have a hurricane

Suprisingly Good

Just received the Igen2500, added oil and gas, then went to start it and it started first pull. runs smooth and quiet, then hooked it up to my R-POD with a 13500btu air conditioner, ran a/c no problem, running around 1400-1500 watts steady. tried it on another rv with a different brand a/c same results. Love the LED data display. So far very happy!

Decent Generator (Should come with a cover, though!)

Just unboxed my new iGen2500 today, so too early to give a rave review. While it started on the first pull, the generator ran a bit rough with a frequent miss. Ran to the hardware store and picked up comparable NKG plugs to replace the Torch plug it came with, and noticed some improvement after switching them out. It runs pretty quiet--- good thing, as I intend to use it on my sail boat at anchor. It really should have come with a cover, though....

iGen2500

I only received this generator today. It arrived well packaged with zero damage. I added the oil and fuel.. and it started on the second pull. Its very quiet.. and the engine idles very smoothly. I tested it with a space heater and it had no problem.. and it took only 25% load on low setting and about 40-50% at high setting. The price was excellent.. and about half the price of the Honda 2000 and it has more power. I'm looking forward to using this generator for camping.

Optimistic

Purchased it to power my home that has frequent outages. I am an ex electrician and after much research decided that this unit has superior features. Received it and have been traveling for work. I have not had any outages yet so I have not even taken it out of the box yet. Westinghouse sent me a recall on this unit due to a fire problem. I am happy that I have not had to use it yet.
